Team 1671: Off-season belt drive prototype

rev 1

rev 2

rev 3

Here is the prototype that the 1671 CAD team has put together.
It is driven by two standard tough box transmissions (for now).
The dimensions are 26.1 inches wide X 36.75 inches long, and only 5.46 inches tall.

It uses timing belts instead of chain to power the wheels.(sprockets and belts from sdp-si)
The system was inspired by team 1625's internal belt drive, and the tensioning system was modified from team 114's, the cool thing about it is the ability to tension the belt system externally.

We would love to hear what you guys think about the design.

Thanks
